Anything with a little coconut in it has a nice chew, with oatmeal- even better. They are real delicious, lots of wonderful flavor. You could add in nuts too but my one daughter is not so fond of nuts, so I left them out.

I try to make things like this for my kids. While it is a sweet, it also has some good qualities as well. This way it is a bit of a step up from junk from the store.

Whisk together flour, flaxseed meal,
baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Place butter and
sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Mix on low speed, until butter and sugars are blended, about 2 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add eggs one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Add flour
mixture to the bowl, and blend on low speed until the flour is just
incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Gradually
add oats, chocolate and coconut and mix on low speed until
evenly combined. (Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, and then
use your hands to turn and gently massage dough, to ensure all flour
and added ingredients are absorbed.) Chill dough for at least 2 hours,
or up to 2 days.

Preheat to 350°F.

Using
a cookie scoop, plunk them down in rounds on the cookie sheet. If you like slightly flatten each
cookie.

Bake cookies for about 12 minutes, rotating the sheets
halfway through cooking time, until they are lightly browned on the
edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 4 minutes,
and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat
with remaining dough.

About Me

There is a new chapter in my life. It's all about how our life (my husband and I) has turned around to a plant based, vegan life! How step by step we are teaching ourselves a whole new way. How we discover new foods. How delicious can happen without meat. Yes, even without bacon.
